81,407,773 |
|
Subscription Exercise Price 2026 |
101.35 pence per share |
|
Next Subscription Date |
01 December 2026 |
*Notes relating to the NAV dilution
The dilution is in relation to the effect of the Company's embedded annual Subscription Right. Shareholders should note that the dilution refers to the NAV per share dilution, not to the dilution of Shareholders' holdings in the Company. All Shareholders have the right to take up their subscription rights on 1 December in each year (the "Record Date") and those who do take them up in full don't have their percentage holding in the Company diluted. For those investors who don't take up their subscription rights, the Company endeavours to place in the market the shares that they were entitled to subscribe for, and then return the net sale proceeds to those investors as a way to deliver to them as much as possible of the value of their subscription rights, therefore reducing the dilution effect of not subscribing.
The calculation for the fully diluted NAV per share assumes that, based on the adjusted subscription exercise price of 101.35p, the maximum number of shares the Company can issue is 16,281,554, being 20% of the current shares in issue, excluding treasury shares.
About the annual Subscription Right
Shareholders have the right to subscribe for one new Ordinary Share for every five Ordinary Shares held in the Company on the Record Date, as outlined in the circular published on 4 November 2022. The exercise price is equal to the undiluted NAV per share, on 30 November (or if such a day is not a business day, the next business day) (being 104.63 pence in 2025) minus any dividends marked xd subsequently. The aim of the programme is to enable to Company to grow through share issuance and it is subject to shareholder review at the annual general meeting ("AGM") in 2027 and at every fifth subsequent AGM thereafter.
